When a jungle bunny screams and assaults a white boy for wearing dreads. But nonetheless you'll see said jungle bunny and beaners all over the place with blonde wig/dye jobs/ streaks. And blue contacts.

The adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture. Many people mistake cultural appropriation with Cultural Appreciation. As there is a difference between taking the time to learn about a culture and taking a culture's traditions, clothing etc. and misrepresenting them.
Cultural Appropriation: Wearing a Native American costume is offensive because the clothing in that culture is very sacred
Cultural Appreciation: Taking some time to learn about Native American culture (traditional dances, clothing, foods etc.)
Not to mention some cultures have a dark history attached to them and they still face present-day issues.
So if you truly want to embrace a culture, then do a bit of research on the culture and do it properly.

Cultural appropriation were first used by Black Americans to negate White Americans from stealing their culture and making it fashion among themselves; especially, without giving credit where credit was due. The reason why Black Americans call White Americans out on this is because America has a nasty history with slavery, stealing the land, civil rights, and so on. Moreover, Black Americans suffered the most and were made fun of through minstrel shows and lynching. Hence the reason why Black Americans used cultural appropriation against White Americans.
Black Americans may also used this terms against other ethnicities because sometimes other ethnic groups may not be aware or ignorant to Black Americans' history.

Example 1 Cultural Misappropriation:
White Person: What are those nasty looking things in your hair?
Black Person: They are called dreadlocks.
White person: Do you wash them?
Black Person: Of course it's my hair (DumbAss).
Example 2 Cultural Appropriation:
White person: Wow, what are those in your hair? It so unique!
White person: Oh, they are called dreadlocks.
White person: Wow, I want some too!

One of the best ways to divide us humans even further, by telling to ourselves that sharing cultures is a threat to a nation, even with the reality that all cultures must be welcoming what other cultures can offer for mutual growth.
If you believe a white man for example can not be inspired by cultures made by blacks/yellows/whatever just because his skin is white, you are a threat to the survival of culture itself, as assimilating good values of other cultures to improve yours and sharing your good values to those interested as well is vital to humanity's growth as a whole.

Jane, the Woke SJW: You can't wear a Salakot, you cis white man! That's cultural appropriation! You're endangering Filipino culture by wearing that!
Dylan, A Filipino born in the US: Yes! It is not appropriate! Salakot is for Filipinos only! *takes it from the white guy*
Sean, the white guy: WTF!
Teodoro, a Filipino from the Philippines: *grabs the salakot from Dylan and gives it back to Sean* What are you guys talking about? It's fine! Nothing's wrong with a white guy wearing our creations, as it promotes and shows the capability of Filipino weavers, idiot! Also, it's art, and art must be shared, bobo!
Dylan: *confused on what bobo means*

When white people cash in on things invented by cultures that they normally make fun of. For example, hiring British white actors to play ancient Romans and The Mummy in the Mummy movie. They call the actual members of that race the "ghetto" Egyptians. Like not ALL Egyptians are ghetto (For example the British actors that play them). After they do that they start yelling at strangers on their TV news saying stuff like "Let me guess are they offended???" Even though they know they did it because they are white supremacists and would refuse to watch a movie with the actual race in it.
"The only reason Despacito made it on the white people radio stations is specifically and only because of Cultural Appropriation by a white guy."

What’s a better example for cultural appropriation than Patches from America’s Got Talent rapping about the suburbs?

Dumbass people that think it’s ok to take styles or pieces from culture and call it a trend. Even though it’s usually used as another way to call white people racist, it’s actually a real problem. Some dumb bitch is going to use something when she ain’t been through the cultures struggle.
Person 1: OMG look at my cornrows, what a new fashion trend.
Person 2: Since when is a cultural style allowed to be a trend. Bitch that’s cultural appropriation.
